English Translation
'Abdullah said: When Allah defeated the polytheists on the Day of Badr, I passed by and found Abu Jahl fallen, his leg having been struck. I said: "O enemy of Allah, O Abu Jahl, Allah has disgraced the other (meaning Abu Jahl)." He said: "Is it beyond (the dignity of) a man killed by his own people?" — and I was not afraid of him at that point. I struck him with a poor sword of mine, but it had no effect. Then his sword fell from his hand, so I took it and struck him until he was dead. Then I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), running as fast as any of Allah's creation, until I came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, Allah has killed Abu Jahl." He said: "By Allah besides Whom there is no god?" I said: "By Allah besides Whom there is no god, I have killed him." He said: "How?" I recounted the events to him. He said: "By Allah besides Whom there is no god?" I said: "By Allah besides Whom there is no god, I have killed him." He exclaimed 'Allahu Akbar' then said: "Praise be to Allah Who fulfilled His promise, supported His servant." Then he went until he came to him and said: "This is the Pharaoh of this nation."
